2 Thessalonians 3:11-13
New English Translation

11 For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life,[a] not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others.[b] 12 Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.[c] 13 But you, brothers and sisters,[d] do not grow weary in doing what is right.
